Startups as an excellent verification service provider 

It is always difficult for companies to outsource work, especially to startups with no reputation. However, there are many benefits of using a startup as a service provider for you: 1️⃣ Flexibility: It is easier for startups to adjust rapidly to changing requirements, as there are less people involved in decision making and less red tape. …

Formal Verification versus Simulation

Is simulation still a viable option for functional verification? Simulation is a popular verification technique to identify bugs in hardware, because it scales even for very large and complex designs. However, checking the design behaviour for every possible input sequence is infeasible even for relatively small designs.  This shortcomming cannot be repaired by using coverage metrics …

Why formal verification is important for semiconductor development

Why is Formal Verification important for semiconductor development? Formal verification is an essential part of semiconductor development, and to increase your knowledge-level in that area is important for several reasons: 1️⃣ Increasing design reliability: Semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly complex, with billions of transistors on a single chip. Formal verification techniques can ensure that the …

A RECORD OF LUBIS EDA

Thank you very much for tuning into our first blogpost!  To explain the origin story of LUBIS EDA`s, we need to take a small trip back to 2015. It all started, when I was reading a fellow PhD’s work on Path-Predicate Abstractions (PPA), looking for inspiration for my own research.  The work of my college was focusing on …

AGILE HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT IS NOT A THING! IS IT?

In the world of software development many companies have switched to agile design methods, achieving a faster time to market, fewer bugs and an increased ROI compared to traditional approaches. This sounds great, so why isn’t Agile Hardware Development a thing, yet? There is a great variety of agile methods for software, e.g., Test-Driven Development (TDD), Extreme Program-ming (XP) or  Continuous Integration (CI). What all these …

WRITING FORMAL PROPERTIES IS COMPLICATED? LET US DEMOCRATISE PROPERTY CREATION!

Today, formal verification is mostly used for bug hunting. Writing formal properties is time consuming and requires a certain level of expertise. The performance of formal tools increased drastically within the last decade. Trends like increasing design complexity, safety and security requirements (e.g. ISO 26262) lead to an increasing usage of formal to verify the …
